23 Claims.

This invention relates to mining machines and in particular to an improved supporting carriage for a mining machine of the wheel mounted type having a universally mounted cutter bar for cutting both vertical and horizontal kerfs in a face of coal.

The principal object of this invention is to provide an improved mining machine.

Another object is to provide an improved supporting carriage for the body, operating motors and cutter bar of the mining machine, whereby it is possible to vary the position of the body of the machine relative to the supporting carriage, and adjust the position of the cutter bar to meet any conditions encountered during the cutting of coal.

A further object is to provide a 3-wheeled carriage support for a mining machine which is power operated; novel in construction; easily and mine without the necessity of having track first laid on the floor of the mine.

These and other objects which will hereafter be made apparent to those skilled in this particular art, are accomplished by means of this invention, one embodiment of which is described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein:

Fig. 13 shows. the position of the machine at the completion of the shearing or vertical cut; and.

Fig. 14 is a front view illustrating diagrammatically the capacity of my improved machine for tilting about a longitudinal axis.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, l0 represents the body of a mining machine containing the usual motor and operating gears, and having a cutter bar I I, extending outwardly from the front end thereof which has the usual cutter chain I2 extending therearound. The cutter bar H is mounted for swinging movement about a shaft l3 carried by a turret M which is mounted for rotation on a horizontal axis through the turn-table mechanism Ma on the front of the body Ill. The body l0 carries the usual motors and gears for driving the cutter chain [2; for rotating the cutter bar ll about the shaft l3 to cause it to cut in the arc'of a circle; and for turning the cutter bar ll about a horizontal axis through the mechanism Ma so that the machine may be used to out either in a horizontal plane or a vertical plane. i

The body ID of the cutting machineas shown is mounted, for movement from place tov place in the mine and for sumping the cutter bar ll into a face of coal, on a supporting carriage l5 made in accordance with my invention, and comprising a pair of side castings I6, each of which has a bifurcated end H, the legs'of which terminate in apertured bosses llcawhich straddle asubstantially cylindrical apertured boss [8 carried by a bracket I9 which is secured to the side of the body It] adjacent the rear end thereof and opposite from that on which the cutter bar is journaled. i

The apertures in the bosses il'la areadapted to register with the apertures in the bosses l8, and the side castings [6 are journaled on the body ID by pins which extend through the registered openings and provide a pivotal connection between the body and the castings l6.

The front end of each of the castings l6 terminates in an enlarged substantially cylindrical boss 2| having parallel vertical faces and a horizontal bore 22 therethrough in which an axle 23 is journaled. Mounted on one end of the axles 23 are wheels 24 having pneumatic tire rims 25 which form the drive wheels for the supporting carriage l5. To drive the wheels 24, a sprocket 26 is secured to the inner end of each of the axles 23, around which pass sprocket chains 21 for connecting the sprockets 26-26 with sprockets 26 which are carried by suitable gear reduction units 29 associated with and driven by motors 30. The

gear reduction units 29 and motors 30 are both mounted on and carried by the side castings 15. The rear portion of the supporting carriage i5 comprises a platform 3| having an operators station 32 thereon, as will be more fully described hereinafter, and having a series of three parallel arms 32 connected thereto, each of which extends underneath the body ll] of the mining machine and terminates in a substantially cylindrical apertured boss 34, the apertures of which are adapted to register with the apertures in substantially. cylindrical bosses 35 depending from the bottom of the body I6. A horizontally disposed pin 36, extending through the apertures in the bosses 34-35,.forms the journal between the rear section of the supporting carriage l5 and the body ID of the mining machine.

The platform 3| is also provided with a dome shaped portion 31, which forms a housing for a pair of steering wheels 38 having pneumatic tire rims 39 .thereon, which are so mounted as to be substantially adjacent to each other, and form in effect a. single wheel for the supporting carriage l5 whereby the carriage. has substantially a 3'- point contact with the surface on which themachineis adapted to travel.

Each wheel 38 is journaled on an axle 4|, slop-. ing somewhat from the horizontal, tothrow the bottoms of the. wheels 38 intoclose proximity to each other, which is carried byia member .42, secured to thelower end of a vertically extending, hollowcylindricalv shaft 43. .The shaft 43 is journaledat its upper end for rotation. in bearings 44, which are securedto the underside of r dome shaped portion 31. In'order to turnthe wheels 38 and thus steer or guide the mining machine, the upperend of,-the cylindrical member 43 projects above the dome shaped member 31 and hasa worm gear 46 securedthereto which meshes with a worm 41 -on the end of a horizontally disposed shaft 48 which is journaled on the top of the dome-shaped portion 31, and has a hand wheel 49 secured thereto. By rotating the wheel 49,-the operator is able to guideand steer the mining machine from place-to place in the'mine, and since the steering wheels 38 form in effect, a single dual wheel,-it is apparent that the machine may be turned sharply-and can readily negotiate the sharp'turns in a mine."

In order that the'front end of body 10 of the mining machine may be readily elevated relative to the'supporting carriage l5 so that horizontal kerfs may be cut in 'a coal-face at different-elevations in the coal' face, and tilted aboutbothlon= gitudinal and transverse axes,- a hydraulic jack 50 is positioned between the body l6 and each of the supporting castings J6. Each of thejacks 50ha's its tcylinder :pivotally connected to a bracket 5l'-mounted on .the side of the body 10,

and its operating piston connected by a rod 52 to a pin 5-3 which has its ends journaled in cylindrical bosses 54 carried by the casting l6. To elevate the rear end of the body ID of the mining machine, and to assist in tilting the body about both a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis, a pair of hydraulic cylinders 56 are provided, the cylinders of which are pivoted at 56a to the rear end of the body In, and their operating pistons are pivotally connected by rods 51 to a shaft 58 which is journaled at each end in members 59 secured-to the arms 33. Each of the cylinders 56-56 is independently operated, while the cylinders 56-56 are operated simultaneously, and in order to'operate the jacks 56-50, 56-56 to vary the position of the body relative to the supporting'carriage |5,'a hydraulic pump 60 (Fig. 3) is mounted in the body l0 of the mining machine which is driven from the motor (not shown) carried thereby. The pump 60 has its intake 6| connected by conduit 62 to a suitable storage tank 63 carried by the body l0, and its outlet 64 connectedby conduit 65 with a control box 66 mounted on the rear end of the body l6 adjacent the operators station 32 in position to be readily accessible to the operator. The control box 66 is provided with valve 61 which, when actuated in one direction admits hydraulic fluid into the lower end of the jack 50 on the left hand side of the machine as viewed in the drawings, through the conduit 68, to expand the jack and elevate the body of the machine. When the valve is actuated in the opposite direction the jack 5!] is connected with the storage tank 63 through the conduit 69 lea-ding from the control box 66 to the tank, and, when the valve is so positioned, the left side, of the body is free to gravitate to its lowermost position. A valve 10 in the control box 66 likewise controls the admission and exhaust of hydraulic fluid to and from the jack 56,

on the right hand side of the machine, which has a conduit 1| connecting the jack with the control box 66. The admission of hydraulic fluid to the jacks 56-56, which are of the double acting type and simultaneously operated, is controlled by a valve 12 in the control box.66. The valve 12 has two conduits 13-14 leading therefrom which are connected by branches 15-16, respectively, with the lower and upper ends of each of the jacks 56. When the valve 12 is actuated in one direction, fluid under pressure is delivered through the line 13 and branches 15 to the lower ends of the jacks 56, and the upper'ends are connectedithrough the. line 14 and branches 16 with the conduit 69. When the valve 12 is actuated in the opposite direction; lines 14-16 are energized and line 13-15 are connected to exhaust. 7

From the foregoing description of my invention it is apparent that I have produced a mining machine of the-universal arc wall type, which is capable of operating under any conditions encountered in a mine. Byactuating the jacks 50-50 and 56-56 the body of the machine may be readilyelevated or loweredrelative to the frame l5 so that the cutter bar may be used to cut horizontal kerfs at different elevations therein. Further, by operating one of the jacks 50 relative to the other, the machine may be readily tilted about its longitudinal axis and either side thereof raised or-lowered to any desired-extent.- It should be noted that-this sidetilting can be readily secured withoutoperating the-jacks 56- 56,. since. the carriage, being. supported on three wheels, is free to rock-onits. wheels. By raising both front jacks ll50 without operating the back jacks 5656, the front end of the cutter bar H may be raised, and by operating the back jacks 5G.56,the front end of the bar II. will be moved down or lowered. Thus, with my improved carriage, the cutter bar H may be adjusted to any desired position and then be readily leveled, even though the machine is operating on a floor which is rough and uneven, and even though one wheel 24 may be elevated relative to the other wheel.

Power for operating the motors 30-130 and the motors contained in the body In of the mining machine is supplied through a cable I5 wound on a reel 15 mounted on the platform 3| and having one end connected to a suitable source of supply, and the other to themotors 30-30, etc. The cable reel 16, which is adapted to play out the cable as the machine is traveling in a direction away from the source of supply; and to automatically reel the cable in as the machine is traveling toward said supply, is mounted on a shaft 11 journaled in brackets 18 on the platform 3|. One end of the shaft 11 has'a grooved pulley (not shown) secured thereto, around which passes a cable 19 which connects the shaft 18 with a grooved pulley 80 on a shaft 8| which is journaled on the top of the dome 31. The inner end of the shaft 81 has a bevel gear 82secured thereto which meshes with a bevel gear 83 on the upper end of a vertical shaft'84. Shaft 84 is journaled within the cylindrical member 43 and has a gear 85 secured to its lower end which meshes with a ring gear 86 secured to the hub of one of the wheels 38.

From this construction it is apparent that as the mining machine is driven in opposite directions, the wheel 38, through the train of gears above described, will cause the cable reel 16 to be rotated in opposite directions to play out an wind up the cable thereon.

The speed reducing units 2929, associated with the motors 3%, are preferably of the'typ e having two forward speeds to afford a lowsumping speed and a relatively high traveling speed, The gear change may be made independently on each motor in the usual manner. The operation of my improved mining machine is clearly illustrated in Figs 6 to 9, inclusive; which show the position of the bar H and the body ID at the beginning of the sumping-in operation (Fig. 6), and the position at the completion of the sumping-in operation (Fig. 7). After the bar has been sumped into the coal, it is turned through an arc of approximately 180 degrees (Fig. 8), and then the motors 30 are reversed and the machine sumped out (Fig. 9) to complete the formation of the kerf.

In making a vertical or shear cut, the bar II is turned so that the cutter chain [2 travels in a vertical plane and the machine is then moved forward to sump the bar into the coal adjacent the floor" of the mine. When the bar has been completely sumped-in, it is swung upwardly until the end of the bar reaches the topof the seam,

,after which the driving motors are reversed and the machine sumped out to complete the shearing without departing from the spirit of my invention'and the scope of the appended claims.
